Customer Reviews
Tasted with an oriental infusion, this very fresh tea is characterized by delicate buds that shine with silvery shades at first contact with water, and bloom like a flower at the first infusion, releasing a fresh, almost magical purity into the cup.
The barely noticeable astringency quickly softens, leaving a delicate sweetness and a creamy scent on the palate.
The silver reflections of the buds are gradually replaced by warmer golden tones that characterize the liqueur. With each subsequent infusion, an increasingly intense floral note appears that recalls rose flowers and aromatic herbs but also a light aftertaste of honey. Fruity nuances emerge at the finish, similar to winter melon and pear.
What a lovely, detailed description of your experience of our silver needle tea!
Lots of honey notes. Wonderful clear liquid. LOTS of trichomes. Very good example of a high quality silver needle.
Soft Swiss chard aroma with subtle seaweed undertone.
Brewing: 4g/80ml, 80°C, 30s, +10s.
Warmed-up dry leaves smell like pine needles, due to the perfect combination of chlorophyll and camphor. When wet, notes of green leafy vegetables appear.
The liquor has the same pine needle aroma, completed nicely by wild flowers and grilled vegetables. All in all, it's a spectacular example of what can be done with green teas.
A really good example of a silver needle, and one of the best white teas I've ever had in general. It can withstand high temperatures without becoming astringent or bitter, and retains it's wonderful flavour for over a dozen steeps. There's no way you could regret having bought this tea
Notre travail de design s'inspire de l'œuvre « Le long de la rivière pendant le Festival Qingming » de Zhang Zeduan, datant de la dynastie Song. Au lieu de représenter la vie quotidienne des habitants de la capitale chinoise (comme dans l'œuvre originale), nous illustrons le processus de fabrication du thé par les agriculteurs, adoptant la même perspective à vol d'oiseau.
En observant notre design d'emballage en détail, les amateurs de thé pourront découvrir les étapes de production : les cultivateurs cueillant, séchant, roulant et torréfiant les feuilles de thé. Le thé est ensuite dégusté dans un pavillon, puis transporté par des chevaux le long de « l’ancienne route du thé ».
L’alliance entre le paysage traditionnel chinois et le thème de la fabrication du thé symbolise l'héritage, la tradition et le respect pour le dur labeur des cultivateurs de thé.
